Drought and high winds have sparked wildfires in a pair of Western Corn Belt states.
Nebraska Farm Bureau President Mark McHargue tells Brownfield a large fire started Thursday morning in South Central Furnas County. “We’ve had ranchers texting me this morning that they’ve been trying to get their cattle out of the way to make sure they’re out of the path of the fire.”
As of Friday morning, the fire was still burning, and the village of Edison remained under a mandatory evacuation order.
